What worked in this project	What needs Improvement in this project	Other
Forced me to think through and discover fully Having a partner we could figure it out Allowed me to see some of the glitches Likes hearing my partners' ideas that I could "steal" (remix) I heard that I have the same questions as my partner Nice to share ideas	Voicethread worked differently for this project than I thought it would. I wish it had worked in a different way (for a synchronous conversation it might not have been the right tool) Explicit instructions Spur of the moment conversation (practice) was better than the actual "project conversation"	We all wanted to learn this tool. Kids might be so interested. How do you get them to push through the learning? Sometimes we over estimate how kids use some of these tools.
